Today the whole world celebrates the World Environment Day. Our country pays special attention to the issue of ecology and conservation of natural resources. The "green economy" is being developed comprehensively: water consumption, for example, has been reduced by 30%, and the amount of emissions into the atmospheric air has decreased by 9%. Among the trends is also the growth of forest areas: now more than 40 % of the total area is covered by forests.
In Belarus there are almost 1,400 national parks and reserves, wildlife sanctuaries and nature monuments - they have a special status. A variety of green initiatives help to study and preserve the unique flora and fauna. Among them is the development and arrangement of environmental trails. It is symbolic that on the eve of Environment Protection Day a new trail appeared in the capital. It is 700 meters in the Angarskaya-2 forest park in Zavodskoi District. The project was developed by teachers and students of school 141. It is there that the first resource center "Green classes in the Belarusian capital" was opened. Currently, 1 800 pupils from 16 schools are engaged in these classes in Minsk.
